Analogue photographers, are we a dying breed ?

Actually I know the answer to that one but how many peeps still use film in their cameras as opposed to a chip ? cos, just been on Ebay for the last hour or so and still cant get away from looking at F4, F5, F6 and F100 and F90x,s, do I need to get a life ? or a new SLR / DSLR ?

Most defiantly a DSLR......best of both worlds, you get to see what you have taken so you don't waste film and you can manually focus etc so its still u taking the picture!

Re: Analogue photographers, are we a dying breed ?

Hi Stewie, I developed films for years arghhh, all those hours in the darkroom arghh enlarging muckin about with chemicals No thanks

Having said that, taking pics in raw farmat then converting to tiff, then doing HRD, then tonemapping, It's just about as bad but at least I'm doing it in a bright room.

I vote go DSLR

The technology has come a long way now and you really ought to give it a try

Is there a specific reason you are sticking with analogue? (eg professional work?) If not jump on-board Stewie

Re: Analogue photographers, are we a dying breed ?

Being able to have my own dark room and develop my pics is something that has always fasinated me, but have never had the space, time or money to do it, so would have to rely on sending them off to be developed, but I love my DSLR and wouldn't have it anyother way, I love being able to take the pic, see what have I have taken immediately, then go home and put them on the laptop, I'm not the most patient person on this planet, so digital has made it a lot easier for me

That's the advantage of digital CL, you see what you've taken immediatetly, if you don't like it you just delete it, with films you don't see anything until it's developed.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean, I dunno, just love sticking a roll of film in knowing full well this is going cost me so got to get it right, although tbh I will move over to digital as soon as I can afford it. Anyway quite fancy one those Olympus E410, s so it could be sooner rather than later, will have to drop a few hints to missus
